  <description>A funny thing happened yesterday....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was searching for the email id of a friend by the name Prashant Nayampalli. I searched on yahoo....it showed that they found a person by that name but I would have to pay thirty five dollars for any further information about him. No way was I going to do that.....so I quit yahoo and continued my search on msn and this was one of the things I found......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Find it on eBay.co.uk eBay, the world&apos;s largest online marketplace Click here to buy and sell &quot;prashant nayampalli&quot; on ebay.co.uk&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;;-))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt; &lt;font size=&quot;3&quot; color=&quot;red&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY DIWALI   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description>

  <title>five years ........... seven houses!!!</title>
  <link>http://aastha.livejournal.com/755.html</link>
  <description>*Shifting to a new house is fun.....&lt;b&gt;fun&lt;/b&gt; as long as others do all the laborious bits and all you do is eat and play. As a kid moving to a new house was one of the most enjoyable experiences.......new house, new environment, new place and new friends .....and as children we love these kind of changes.....don’t we?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have moved to eight houses in twenty years......eight houses is as far as I can remember, but I am sure that my parents must have shifted several more times. My sister and I loved every moment of *it......reason one being that for the next few days we would be eating in hotels. Well I think as kids we all love anything and everything that wasn’t home cooked, right???....and reason two.....MOM .....yes mom.....she would take leave from work for a week or so to unpack and arrange the house.....and it was always wonderful to see her at home when we got back tired from school.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I consider myself a jinx in *&lt;i&gt;this&lt;/i&gt; case. Finally my parents have moved into their own place after I got married and moved away......... hopefully they won’t be moving out of that house any more(keeping my fingers crossed;-).....and now the curse is on my husband......in the five years that we have been married.......we have shifted seven times and believe me it’s no more &lt;i&gt;&quot;fun&quot;&lt;/i&gt; now that I am in my parent’s shoes. Converting a house into a home is an exhausting task......both physically and mentally. When we moved to our new house last month......for the first week we were deciding on the arrangements of the furniture. Several times I woke &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.livejournal.com/users/zuby&quot; target=&quot;”_blank”&quot;&gt;Zubin&lt;/a&gt; up in the middle of the night just to tell him that he would have to shift the furniture &lt;u&gt;again&lt;/u&gt;....well that was my level of obsession. After a whole month of sleepless nights and tiring days I can say that we have settled in our new home.....finally. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have given my dad “The Title” of &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Retd. Shifter&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;....now that he has retired and handed over the position(it’s the heirloom I guess:-p) to me, I sincerely hope and pray that I am the last heir to *&lt;u&gt;this&lt;/u&gt; throne. Perhaps daddy and I could write a book on &lt;i&gt;Dos and Don’ts of Moving to a New House.....&lt;/i&gt; And if we happen to make good money out of the book......it would cover the all the cost on transportation and hotels that we have incurred over the years ;-)</description>
